Cork Film Festival, Harp, Festival Club, Guinness, Player and Wills

This is a black and white photo of a group attending the Harp Lager-sponsored festival club, some of whom are identified at the back of the photo as the head of Guinness sales, Bobby Hoick, and Alan Buttanshaw, managing director from Player and Wills tobacco. The three men and two women are standing in a huddle, facing each other oblivious to the camera, laughing and talking. In the background we can just about identify the distinctive lattice fencing of the festival club together with the partially distinct signage for Harp Lager which was then owned by the Guinness company (now Diageo). This photo is dated '1960s' but might be 1967 as Player and Wills (Ireland) Ltd. gave a development grant to the Cork Film Festival that year.
